Nice. I started before dual shock. Which I believe was BEFORE N64 came out. But I had an N64 too

Niiice! I remember feeling like the new kid on the block, introduced to a preexisting 90s culture full of edgy rebellious teens, wonky cartoons, and my adult cousin who had a PS1 already that I played a few times, and then he gave it to me in preparation for the PS2. I started off playing Tetris on a black and yellow monochrome screen word processor (great colors, I still love them 🏴) and moved on to the PS1 and a very small selection of low graphics requirement Windows games.
